Week Of Prayer. The first week In the
New Year, as we have previously stated
is set apart by the Evangelical Alliances
as the week of prayer, and subjects are
assigned for each evening. The custom
is universally observed by all protestant
denominations. In accordance to this
custom prayer meeting was held last night
in the Presbyterian church.. The pastor
spoke interestingly on Humiliation" the
subject for the evening.
There is nothing more certain" said
the pastor, than that God hates sin. The
death of Christ his own dear son, the
sorrows that follow sin, and the terrible
punishment that awaits the finally impen-
itent, show, unmistakably, that God holds
sin in adherence. Since we have these
evidences Of Gods attitude toward sin,
We ought to hate it. 1t ought TO be
avoided by US. We ought to repent OF
it, confess it, and pray for the removal of
its guilt and defilement
The sacred writer's told the people Of
olden times that their sins were the cause
of the judgment of God. They did not
hesitate to tell them that they had
brought the evils upon themselves. God s
offense toward sin is the same to-day as
ii was hundreds of years ago. Sin brings
i
on other days. Sorrow is inevitable If
sin is committed.
There are personal sins, which must
bring sorrow TO the individual. There
are family sins, such az neglect of relig.
ious instruction and training, disobedience
DC, that must bring sorrow 10 families.
There are great national sins which must
bring sorrow to nations.
In Pc
that there should be humiliation on &C
count OF these sins. The individual, and
the family, and the nation should repent
of, and confess their sins, and seek the
favor of God.
the sacred writer's were distressed, and
they represented Gods true people as dis
tressed, on account of the sins of others
around them. So the christian church in
our own times is to be deeply concerned
about the prevalence of sin. They are to
mourn over the unbelief and immortality
that exist. Above all, are they TO see that
sin is not tolerated in their own members
If sin be found, then the member is to be
brought to repentance or elected from
their number. They are to contend ear
nestly for the faith once delivered to the
saints. Hence, all divisions among christ
ians, all Journalism, all indifference, are
to be put away. Gods people ought to
be consistent, united, earnest, making an
impression for good upon people every
where.
The cure for sin, in whatever way it
manifests itself, is the gospel. This will
expel wrong thoughts. This will bring
holy affections. This will Danish every
thing offensive to God. This will elevate,
sanctify, and save. There was
good attendance. The subject for this
evening is Churches. All are invited.
Interesting and profitable services were
held last night at the First M. K. Church
by Rev. Dr. Leech, assisted by two Bal
timore evangelists.
